The job was initially thought to be going to Sean Penn, with Benicio Del Toro and Jim Carrey playing the parts of Moe and Curly, respectively. All of those names have since dropped from the feature, which will consist of three 27-minute shorts.

Johnny Knoxville also appeared to be in the running for the still-empty role of Moe, but he announced back in March that he wasn’t taking the job. Last week, "The Simpsons" star Hank Azaria was considered to be in the lead for landing the part.

Considering who’s already cast, who do you think should take the role of Moe?

You can't redo the Three Stooges. I was just watching an episode this morning about them staying a hunted mansion overnight because Curly supposedly inherited millions of dollars from a rich relative. He only inherited 67 cents and my stomach hurt so bad from the laughing. I do like Will Sasso as Curly, but Sean Hayes as Larry will be interesting. They might do some serious make-up to make him look like Larry. They need a sarcastic, yet funny actor to play Moe.

I agree, horrible casting. If they don't change the actors this movie will be a flop. Sean Hayes as Larry? This must mean every actor in Hollywood must have turned down the part as well as the other parts as they are having a tough time filling the roles. Whatever the Farrelly brothers are smoking, please get me some.

WHAT? Sean Hayes? From 'Will & Grace' ? I am sorry but I cannot see this as good casting. Get unknowns if you have to. They MUST look, sound and act like the originals as close as possble, otherwise it's just not going to work.

I disagree. The closer to the originals, the more we will feel thay failed to be the originals. This needs an absolutely fresh take or there's no point. Want them closer to the originals? Go rent the originals.
